NOTWITHSTANDING the efforts of
the socialists and anarchists to cry
down America, this country con-
tinues to be the Mecca to which the
dissatisfied OF every land turn. The
tide of foreign emigration keeps
pouring in and threatens to be even
greater this year than for any year
since 1882. Incoming vessels are
loaded to their utmost capacity with
immigrants from all the countries
of Europe. So long as those who
come are honest, industrious and
law abiding they are perfectly vel.
come. But many of these new
comers are the offal and refuse of the
continental hot beds of disease,
crime and pauperism, and many of
them are the insane disciples of in
sane teachings and doctrines. As
rule they are either anarchists, So
cialists or the adherents of some
perniciOus theory OF government
inimical to the American system.
We have quite as many of this kind
of citizens i'm the United States as
we can care for. We have
as many people here who have
no intention OF becoming
American citizens as we want.
We have quite enough paupers,
criminals and rapscallions generally.
This country is too good country to
be made a dumping ground for all Eu-
ropes human and inhuman rubbish.
1t is time foreign immigration to
this country should be hedged around
by some sort of restrictions. The
matter has been long talked of, but
definite and positive action is what
is needed.

Chinese last Monday did not occur.

disturbance the prompt action Of
Gov. Semple and the authorities hap.

tion. There can be no doubt but that

scare for the military companies of

the several armories for two

his headquarters at Seattle

A Prospective Duel.

Cry OF MEXICO, May An all of
the higher circles of the capital, little
else is heard but talk of the prospec-
tive duel in which Spanish minister
is concerned and the hope is expressed
that the trouble may be settled with
out bloodshed. On Saturday night at
a ball at the Casino, an aristrocratic
Spanish club, among the guests was
the beautiful daughter of ex-Marshal
Bazaine of France. She was escorted
to supper by Senor Barron, q young
gentleman of wealth and position. He
was called from the side of the young
lady by Senor Noriega, who undertook
to chide him, some say. Barron says
he accused him of too much familiarity
with Miss Bazaine. AT any rate, bitter
words were exchanged and a
scene was avoided by the timely
interference of friends. The Spanish
minister took up the quarrel as a
friend of the Bazaine family on the
ground that his countrymen had
acted improperly in dragging the
name OF the young lady into notoriety.
Noreiga thereupon quarrelled with the
minister and made comments reflect
ing upon the minister's standing in
the Spanish colony. Again blows
wero prevented by bystanders. Ex-
element was intense. Men shouted
and women screamed. The two prin-
cipals were taken charge of and es.
corted home by their friends. This
was 2 O'Clock Sunday morning. Since
then negotiations have been going on
preliminary to duel, while efforts are
being made on the outside to hush
it up.

Advice to Swimmers.

A novice cannot learn too early to swim
lightly. The best swimmers in heavy
seaway assume vertical position
and tread water to rise with rolling
wave. Racers in the water assume va
riety of positions; some swim ON their
side, hand over hand, and others on their
back. Each has his fayorite mode of ac-
ton, but in these the general run Of those
learning to swim take little interest.
When person can swim with ease In the
ordinary way, if he is ambitious to learn
more be will find no difficulty in the way.
To lie on the back with comfort, depress
the head to the ears and the feet viii nat
urally come to the surface, and the fioater
will feel himself on bed Of ease s'softer
than downy pillows are" Swimming en-
the back, the arms folded on the breast,
is not only delightful in itself, but gives
the arms rest. A person seized with
cramp in the legs should at once throw
himself upon his back and lie as quiet as
possible, and in few seconds sufficient
vitality will come to enable him to reach
the shore or to obtain help. Those liable
to cramps hould never go into the water
alone or swim out of their depth.
Long dives are injurious; they cause a
rush of blood to the head, which, in after
life, may produce vertigo. The natives Of
the Pacific and Of the Mediterranean, who
pass half their lives in the water, are in
ured to diving from childhood and are not
required to do much thinking, conse-
quently their brains sare sluggish. II is
different with our young folks, whose
brains are kept sensitive by the labors OF
the school room.-Duncan Mclean in

the siege of Savannah while rescuing the
flag that had been planted ON the
ramparts. Though he died in the middle
period of the revolution no hero who lived
1t through had career more fascinating.
1t reads like the romance of brave
knight of the days of chivalry When
the British fleet attacked Fort Moultrie
and the American flagstaff was shot
down he leaped out into the ditch and
raised it again in the midst of a
storm of shot and shell. His next ex-
plot was to attack with n single COM
panion British guard of ten soldiers
who were conveying some Americans
to prison. When the guard halted at q
spring, the two lads-they were but just
of age-darted from the bushes upon the
two soldiers left in charge of the stacked
arms, disabled them, and with their guns
shot the first two who came up from the
spring With no time to load they
dubbed their guns and killed the next
two, then released the prisoners before the
rest of the guard could rally. Not only
did they rescue the prisoners, but marched
the British guard into the American
camp. For his exploits he was offered an
officers commission, but declined it on
the plea tnat ne cOulu not reaul "A MIS-.
Elliott, on behalf of the ladies of Charles
ton, presented him with beautiful set of
colors, which he preserved with great
pride. Though mortally wounded in the
rash assault upon Savannah under Count
D'Estaing, he reached the American camp
and died in the act of exhorting his COM
panions to patriotic service.
The statue represents him as he seized
the flag from the British ramparts, where
it had been planted. 1t is the production
of Mr.. Alexander Doyle of New York;
the figure is of bronze, ten feet high, and
rests upon a pedestal twenty feet high.
Few cities in this country SO richly repay
the tourist for visit as Savannah. The
beauty of its broad streets and semi-trop-
ical parks, its noble monuments TO Pp-
laski, Gordon and others, its historic as
sociations, its landmarks Of the revolution
and local records and buildings connected
with the establishment Of Methodism in
America, all combine to delight and in
struct. The monument to Jasper but
adds one to the many previous objects Of

demonstration was organized. Thence to
Kansas City and southwark to Atlanta was
his route and at the last named place
were the most extensive ceremonies of the
trip. A great Industrial exposition in the
capital of the empire state Of the south,
the presence of eminent manufacturers
from all sections and the president of

citizens. While no more enjoyable, per-
haps, the presidents southern tour will
be the most important of any.
1t is fact worth noting, while our most
popular presidents have travelled about the
country most, each succeeding one has
been criticised more and more severely at
the time, Weshingtop's New England
tour was the cause of untold embarrass-
ment, as the matter of etiquette in a re-
publican government had not then been
established, and the governors and other
state officials were equally in fear of doing
too much or too little. Governor Hancock,
of Massachusetts, threw himself back on
his dignity, claiming that governor and
president were equal in rank, or, if any
odds, the governor was the superior, as
the Federal power was only the agent of
the states; but the people good naturally
laughed him out Of that notion and gave
Washington an enthusiastic reception. We
have long since gotten rid Of any embar-
rassment ON that score, and feel that
nothing is too good for our appointee.

A Gorernmsn. Clerks penman.hip.

The most accomplished penwoman OF
penman among the $4,000 and more gov
eminent clerks is Mrs. Helen NJ. Avery,
of the interior department. Her chirog-
raphy is model of uniformity and clear
ness. She is also clever pen and ink
artist. A head of Tasso drawn by her a
few years ago is said by connoisseurs to
be equal to the finest steel engraving.
She does her work rapidly, and apparently
without effort. Her duties occupy about
two hours day. The rest of the time
she occupies as she chooses. Her position
in the department is supposed to be as
near an approach to a life tenure as the
most successful government employee can
hope to obtain. Her salary is $1,000
per annum.-Boston Transcript.
